In this paper we investigate how information surrogates might be useful in exploratory search and what information
it is useful for a surrogate to contain. By comparing assessments based on artificially created information surrogates,
we investigate the effect of the source of information, the quality of an information source and the date of information
upon the assessment process. We also investigate how varying levels of topical knowledge, assessor confidence and prior expectation affect the assessment of information surrogates. We show that both types of contextual information affect how the information surrogates are judged and what actions are performed as a result of the surrogates.
